Blog A peak inside the DevOps mindset

A curated list of DevOps community events and meetups to attend before the end of the year.

It’s only 40 more sleeps until Christmas, that beautiful time of year when Holiday and New Year festivities are upon us, where Black Friday is imminent and screaming at us “MUST. BUY. GIFTS. NOW!” and all of the work you’ve been procrastinating with have deadlines coming up. Oh joy!

On top of that, it’s also that time of year where you need to filter through a pile of invitations for Christmas parties and Winter Edition Meetups and decide which ones you really can’t afford to miss before the end of 2018.

That’s why here at Tecknuovo @DevOpsDom always saves us a lot of time by sharing her hand-picked list of Must-Attend DevOps events in London every month. So, in good Holiday Spirit, we have decided to share it with you this month!

We are going to be there, so make sure to find us and say hello! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Organised by our good friends at Control Plane and Tetrate, Istio London gives you the opportunity to get together and learn about Istio: an open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices. Join their 5th meetup at Monzo offices!

If you’re not quite ready for the Servicemesh journey that is Istio, you can join our friends from Contino in the next instalment of the Great Debate. After the Great Container debate and the Great Security debate, get ready to watch Team Red and Team Blue debate about Serverless vs Kubernetes.

As Docker Community Leader for London, our very own DevOpsDom runs this community and has a very special edition planned. Christmas is early this year, aside from having some great talks scheduled, there will also be other festivities like the Santa Raffle. Hosted by the lovely folks at Comparethemarket.

The Women in DevOps meetup gives a platform to awesome female minds in the DevOps community. Open to everyone to attend, this event is also great for networking and talk about inclusivity and diversity in tech.

Organised by our good friend Ivan, Kubemas '18 is a Christmas edition of the Kubernetes London - a must-attend meetup for all engineers interested in or working with Kubernetes. It’s been running in London since 2015 and has a pretty well-established following, so make sure to register as soon as the November event is announced.

DockerCon Europe will be in Barcelona this year. Dom and Margo will be attending the conference where they are looking forward to all the awesome scheduled speakers and potentially enjoy some tapas and sangria too. Even though it's December, it's still Barcelona. #fieldtrip

The last Cloud Native London Meetup of 2018, organised by our friend Cheryl Hung and hosted by our very own @DevOpsDom. If you're interested in learning more about what is happening in the Cloud Native ecosystem, this event is your cup of tea!
